I am against any new gun restrictions except for background checks .Unlike some ET members my head isn't in the sand when it comes to public opinion shifting for more gun restrictions
Focusing on character (for gun ownership) could eventually, ironically, lead to an even greater loss of freedom for individuals than merely banning high capacity magazines. Why? Because understanding character, to a level useful for predictability, would be highly invasive.
Isn't it ironic how important polls are to liberals when they seem to support liberal positions and how utterly irrelevant they are when they don't? For example, large majorities have supported the death penalty. Liberals fight against it tirelessly. Large majorities oppose affirmative action. Liberals sneer at them. Large majorities were against gay marriage. Liberals called them homophobes and mounted an unprecedented indoctrination and smear campaign. Large majorities favor strict immigration controls and are against amnesty. Liberals push for them anyway. A clear majority opposed Obamacare. Liberals rammed it through nayway. Now with guns, a few liberal anti-gun groups create misleading polls and we are supposed to drop all opposition. No, but we will be watching closely to see which politicians backstab us.
On this issue, I wear the hat proudly. Are you saying polls can't be manipulated? That a administration can't sway public opinion using media bias? Geez, that's politics 101 in todays world.
Of course they could be manipulated. It's just a lot less likely they are than those polls from www.unlessyousaveamericawereallgonnadie.com.
The polls are swaying because of all the mass shootings and the number of homes having guns are declining.Its not a conspiracy between Obama,the media and the pollsters imo.If they could do that they would have had obamacare polling favorably
